The guys I see working in wood are 1) really old;

hey - I'm only 41!

2) former RC modelers;

I built a rubber-band-powered balsa Cub recently - does that count?

or 3) guys who already had a wood-shop hobby before taking up building.

No, just owning a 50-year-old home. Though it's not too different, I
suppose.

Side note: I've noted that success building RC models is often a harbinger of
success building "real" planes. Shades of "Flight of the Phoenix"!


Great movie! But I already have one expensive hobby - guitars - and
can't afford two more. So between flying model airplanes and real
ones, I have to take the real ones.
